Eshakti Referral Code

**Updated**

Any of my readers want to try buying dresses, pants, tops, skirts from eshakti.com, but been hesitant?

I have a $50 discount code if you want to give them a try.


Not only do they do custom sizing ($9.95), they have now started to offer their dresses in different fabrics. 

If you like the style of dress A, but you really want it in fabric B, they will do it for a small fee!







The referral code entitles the new customer to get $50 off their first purchase.

To Be Clear

I have noticed an uptick in visits to this page, in the last.. oh say two weeks. Even though I haven't been adding new content.

I am guessing it might be due to the Cheeto in power's, feckless Harpy mouth piece, using a term that sounds very much like my blog's name..

So to be clear, this page is my blog, which is about being a fat person (I haven't updated the blog in a while). I have been blogging for a few years about very mundane things. This has never been a political blog (until now!).

As the sole content provider to my blog, I feel I need to add a small note about this blog/writer: I am: fat positive, LGBTQ+ positive, sex work positive, WOC/POC positive and welcome to all people who are being marginalized. I believe with all my heart that: Black Lives Matter (institutionalized systematic racism is still a thing! and fighting it is important), Muslims belong here in the USA as much as anyone else, I Stand With Standing Rock, Women's Rights are Human Rights, Planned Parenthood is amazing, PBS is the life blood for giving all children a small yet equal start for learning, loving, and understanding the world and the people in it. I am a liberal chick, born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area.

I am committed to Resisting and Fighting the current bullshit that is happening in my country under the new and idiotic person in power (and all the nazi/fascist evil twits behind him pulling his strings).


Have a lovely day and thanks for visiting!

Today I was browsing modcloth and I had a clothing flashback

The Bird and the Bee: Part 2 The Reply

Hi friends.
I got a reply to my email from this post.

The Bird and the Bee: GB wrap up

Hello friends!

I am on the cusp of the end of my trial with Gwynnie Bee, as you saw over my last few posts I have been less than thrilled with my trial.
So today I wrote them an email about my experience it reads as follows:

The Bee: part 3

Third dress arrived from Gwynnie Bee, And while it is pretty and more casual, it really wasn't good for me.

The Bee: Package 2

Howdy friends!

Package #2 from Gwynnie Bee showed up on Thursday.  Pretty fast turn around, considering I mailed back the other dress on Monday.

Clothing I love

(this is a personal opinion: I have not been offered anything to give this opinion. This message is not sponsored in any way shape or form. But if these fine brands wants to throw some plus size stuff my way, I wont say no.. just saying!)
Hi friends, Sorry I have been gone so long.

Today I am going to dish about some clothing.

dress?

I was looking around ASOS curve this evening and I noticed something a bit off..
They keep using the word "dress" when clearly they mean "shirt"
I am all for being comfortable, but these take it a bit too far..

All the pretty things

Recently things have been rather dark and gloomy. To fix this, I decided to get a little more color in my life

Questions: Do you feel..

I belong to a community on line called Quora Where people ask questions about various topics; from science, sex, math, programming, relationships, animal behavior, to social issues.

on X-mass morning I wrote an answer to the question Do you feel bullied as an overweight or obese person? (my answer is contained in this link, but if you don't happen to have Quora, or aren't a link clicker my answer is this:

This is the post where I talk about my underpants..
If you do not want to know about my bloomers, I suggest you walk on.

Skirts, boots, dresses.. and Pasta?

The clothes from my previous post The Naughty List arrived.
I have been wearing the blue skirt at least once a week. okay i'll be honest, I wear it to work once a week, but then I wear it at home way more often.
Its blissfully soft, blue and has an odd hem. In short almost perfect. There is an odd bit on the trim that sits funny, but I am willing to ignore it.

After Holiday: Naughty List

Yes, I just blew all my x-mass bonus from work on what I really wanted for the holiday.. socks and clothes.
Oh how times have changed.
I remember when all I wanted was toys, movies and various tasty snacks for gifts.

Happy almost whatever winter holiday..

I really dislike the whole holiday hell that follows thanksgiving Halloween.
I have since I was about 10. Mostly its all the people who normally durring the year when out shopping can be rude but it seems to increase 10x in the winter. Not a fan.
Plus it is almost impossible to avoid christmas music in stores.
I saved myself some shopping pain, and did 99% of my shopping on amazon (with prime).

This year I have also been graced with a magical chest/sinus cold. It's special.
I have cement in my nose and gunk in my chest. A lovely raspy voice and interesting colored mucus.
Yes, I am just bursting at the seams with holiday cheer.

So much, and so little.

Oh dear readers I have been gone too long..
Yes, like every time I disappear for a long time this will be a brief recap of my adventures.

I went to a renaissance fare, got drunk and made an ass out of myself. Lucky for me I was with friends who find me adorable, even if I am being a drunken ass.

I was very proud of myself, for making my Husband and entire costume in two days!
I made brown linen drawstring pants (hand stitched gussets), a gauze shirt, faux leather long vest (also with hand stitched elements), a muffin hat and a satchel... all while working my full time new job.

And that brings us to my other news, and why I haven't been writing.
I got a job. I was suppose to be a bookkeeper but some how ended up as more of a receptionist..
The hours are difficult for me as I have to wake up at 6am. Not something I would ever want to do but where I live traffic sucks. If I dont wake up and get ready and leave the house no later than 7, I don't make it to work by 8am. Yes, my commute of a whopping 15 miles (on the freeway) takes an hour. On the way home normally an hour and 45 minutes. Unless it's friday then it takes far longer, BLEH.

I get home and thats all she wrote! I might have enough brain capacity to make dinner, but sadly I lack the time or desire to write. After all bed time is now a very late 10pm for me.

and that my dears is the long short of it.
I will try to write on weekends if i find the time. or you know get fired..

tired kisses,

Raven
